Reactions Trail Easter Celebration In PH

Mixed reactions have
continued to trail this year’s Easter Celebration in the state following what most people described as the economic hardship and petrol scarcity to facilitate free movements within and out of the city of Port Harcourt.
The Tide correspondent who visited the Spar Supermarket could not find much fun seekers as was in the case in previous years.
Few parents seen around the area told The Tide that the present economic reality has kept a lot of families indoors this  year.
Mr Eberechi Chukwuma said he only came with his family to Spar because his March salary was paid on Wednesday into his account by his employer and on the insistence of his children on holiday he came with them to buy some snacks for them.
Eberechi added that the economic situation is hard for a lot of families and urged the government to review its economic policy for the betterment and interest of Nigerians.
According to him “Nigerians are indeed going through a very excruciating economic hardship, the federal government needs to do something seriously about the situation to protect Nigerians and the economy.
Also speaking, Apostle George Samuel said he came to The Spar for the first time with his two children and wife but met few people despite the story he has heard about the place.
He said most parents lack the financial wherewithal to take their family members out on this years Easter celebration, stressing that the situation would soon change for Nigerians.
Samuel urged Nigerians to continue to have trust in God even as they pray for the success of the nation’s leadership. Other Nigerians also expressed sadness over the current fuel situation in the country.
Mr Sunday Igboekwe speaking to The Tide on Monday said most parents cannot afford the money to buy a litre of fuel now to freely move their family members around the city of Port Harcourt to recreational centres.
He said that a litre of petrol is now N160.00 in Port Harcourt and therefore most parents had chosen to stay indoors with their families.
He called on the government to consider the plight of average Nigerians and address the economic challenge being faced by Nigerians to move the country forward.
